Jack London, popular author and important literary figure, was born in San Francisco January 12, 1876, the son of Flora Wellman
and William Henry Chaney. John London was his stepfather. He married first, Bessie Maddern, and second, Charmian Kittredge.
As a child he lived in San Francisco, near Livermore, and in Oakland. He spent much time on the Oakland waterfront and San
Francisco Bay in various capacities. His first book of short stories,
SON OF THE WOLF, was published in 1900. This was followed by many other works of fiction. Early in his career, he was an ardent socialist and
many of his writings reflect this fact. He built an estate in the Valley of the Moon, Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, and practiced
experimental farming and stock raising. He traveled extensively. He died on November 22, 1916.
